Dollar Falls as Rate-Hike Prospects Dim; Treasury Yields Rise With Oil Prices -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/08/14 06:540654 GMT - The dollar falls as recent U.S. data dampen the prospect of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates while Treasury yields rise as oil prices gain. Last week's weak labor market data combined with this week's subdued consumer and wholesale inflation data have prompted markets to trim U.S. rate-hike bets. Oil prices rise after the U.S. threatened to maintain a naval blockade of Iran indefinitely. Meanwhile, an auction of 30-year Treasurys on Thursday resulted in the highest yield since 2001, highlighting U.S. fiscal concerns. The DXY dollar index falls 0.1% to 99.854. The 30-year Treasury yield rises 1.7 basis points to 5.228% while the 10-year equivalent rises 1.8 basis points to 4.659%, Tradeweb data show. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
